Scenes in England 1918 | Remastered

[@sharonstuart5262]

Hi. The featured person in the footage from 6:53-7:45 is Newton D Baker - the US Secretary of War. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton_D._Baker. Looks like a kindly fellow! Love you stuff - there are loads of faces that were VERY famous at the time in your footage - and your enhancements make real people again to modern eyes. Cheers.

[@Vestu]

These are amazing. Everyone seems much more "real human" than in the raw footage.

[@djkurtstudio]

Look at all these people united and so proud to be British, so involved with each other. Pretty much the opposite of modern society. Great vid, thanks for the hard work! :)

[@protoping]

play it at x0.75 speed, looks more natural

Amazing footage and remastering. I’m always curious as to the technical reason why vintage footage likes this always looks 5% faster, just enough to make the film look sped up, and why can’t we compensate to bring the film speed back down so that people move more naturally. I’m sure this is a frame rate issue and how it interlaces with digital technology?

[@manin10]

I'm not sure but weren't the cameras hand would. So the speed probably depends on the experience on the cameraman??

[@arnosgrove8345]

Silent film was shot at 16 frames per second whereas sound at 24 frames per second. Inevitably when silent film is screened at 24fps on a sound projector it will appear 50% faster than it should be.

[@margaretevans9691]

This was such a pleasure to watch! I am sharing it with my grandparents now!

[@vividhistory2092]

I never thought about that but Britain has probably never seen so many foreigners before, that must have felt incredible for the contemporaries

[@bobbysands6923]

Incredible work. Thank you. One thing: the speed is incorrect. I have to play this at 75 percent speed in order for the motion to look natural. It seems like this is an easy fix...am I right? In any case, thank you for the trip back in time.

[@TayWoode]

That’s what I did

[@aaronkcmo]

[@jeffcher10]

Stunning results!

[@fluchterschoen]

It's so sad how life expectancy was so much lower in the olden days. If you got to your 40th birthday you were considered to be an irrelevant old waste of oxygen. I think it's because people were in such a hurry all the time - everyone walked so fast and sliced bread so quickly - and foghorns were always going off and giving people apoplexy.

[@indieWellie]

infant mortality was higher back then, but living to become an adult didn't mean dying at 40 unless you were in a particularly dangerous line of work like mining.

[@ulasht1]

I feel like the Colorization needs to be revisited on this one cause I'm spotting a lot of non naval military uniforms that are blue/purple when they are not suppose to be. should be Forest Green, Olive Green, & Tan.

[@XDKX101]

Colorization is never perfect and this is one such instance. Unfortunately even with the ai based tools nowadays, we'll continue to see similar mistakes

[@spanglestein66]

It may have been tough but at least we were amongst our own kind . Our ancestors slaved away hoping to build a better future for their children and now it’s just given away to anyone that wants to come here

[@modgodel]

3 million men served from the British colonies then, Chinese built roads and did sewer work, many Indians and African fought or did manual work. Without them the British would have lost 2 years in, if not sooner.

[@dulls8475]

I'm curious would anyone be still alive today!!! This is an amazing video, really surprised to see daily tasks being done back then. The bread cutter was unique And the ship filled with people was risky. The fellow was giving them cigarettes or chocolates? Good work re mastering this

set your KZbin playback speed to 0.75 to make it more natural

[@Wildmutationblu]

It is clear that the speed is too fast as the movement of people isn't natural.

[@mrlopez-pz7pu]

I dont mean to seem unappreciative, because your restorative work is tremendous, but...why would you put so much effort into restoring this footage, only to retain the unatural FPS that gives old footage that "sped up" look? One must play this at .75 to get to anything approaching natural speed. It's really puzzling.....

[@modgodel]

Sorry for the inconvenience of having to adjust your speed!

[@josephkleinmusic]

@@modgodel I don't think the issue is the "inconvenience" of adjusting the speed on playback in KZbin; that's certainly easy enough to do. The point that @mrlopez-pz7pu was making (and which I totally agree with) is that for all the meticulous detail that the editor put into these fantastic video remasters, this one little oversight really stands out. It really is amazing what a difference it makes to play them back at 75% speed.

[@philipmcniel4908]

Curious why the flags (both American and British) don't have red on them like we're used to today. Was it an oversight, a technical limitation of the colorization process, or did the flags actually look like that at the time?

[@Tiger74147]

I appreciate the attempt of the sound track and colorisation, but the result of both are pretty bad and unfitting.

[@Segashimi]

You need a new refrigerator. It will get louder and louder when it gets older. It can burn when it’s too old by short circuit.

[@DJ-uk5mm]

Soldiers used to be paid a portion of the spoils of war. Then those in power who start but don’t fight in the wars, realised that they could incentivise the soldiers to commit murder with a little ribbon and a bit of metal pinned to the chest, much cheaper and those in power could keep all the spoils of war themselves. ……….. oh and boy, don’t forget to hand back your guns when you get back to Blighty, it wouldn’t be to have you and once he got home now with it?

[@glenng]

This is absolutely incredible. It brings history to life and let's you use your imagination much more. I love these awesome films. I would like to see actual WW1 footage brought to life in this way to show us how horrific the great war really was.
